Overview

• Palland launched on July 31, 2025 on the Nintendo eShop at a discounted price of $3.99 and quickly gained viral attention as a Palworld lookalike.
• The game’s store description touts survival, building and exploration mechanics and equips players with guns alongside creatures bearing strong resemblance to Parasect and Charmander.
• Reviewers criticize Palland’s poor visual assets, crude audio and shallow design, calling it a low-quality imitation.
• Analysts note that Palland appears to omit ball-based creature capture, potentially sidestepping the specific patent claims that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company raised against Palworld.
• No formal takedown or lawsuit has targeted Palland, highlighting ongoing challenges in platform moderation and IP enforcement.
